Blackbird Cottage sits in a perfect location for walkers of all abilities. From the moment you step outside, you can head straight into beautiful countryside, with routes ranging from gentle strolls to more energetic walks. In addition, many well-marked circular paths begin right at the doorstep and lead you back to Beaminster, where, after your walk, you can enjoy homemade cake in a local café or perhaps a cheeky pint in one of the town’s welcoming pubs.
Just a 20-minute drive from Blackbird Cottage near Beaminster lies the iconic Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO Site. Along the way the journey there is an experience in itself. Known locally as “The Coast Road”, the B3157 gently winds along the coast line and is regularly ranked among the most scenic drives in the country. As a result, with sweeping sea views and charming coastal villages along the way, it’s easy to see why it’s so highly praised.
